- Abstract
Public law began to be taught as a subject in its own right between the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries in German universities whilst it met with opposition in French and Italian universities, where neither during the French Revolution nor the Napoleonic era was it able to cement its standing. By the mid-nineteenth century, in line with the overall European evolutionary process, university reforms in Savoy, Tuscany and Lombardy-Veneto provided the impetus for the study of this field of law with the 1859 Casati Law firmly establishing its teaching which, following unification, was extended to the whole country. Rome's La Sapienza, however, did not adopt this new thinking and remained tenaciously bound to traditional teaching based on canon law and Roman Law. Only with the fall of the Papal States did it provide a radical overhaul of its curriculum, making room for the teaching of Constitutional Law and Administrative Law with the creation of new professorships which, thanks to their being taken up by authoritative and experienced academics, acquired central roles.
